The Way I Hear It...

...That "green" planet-saving dishwasher soap does a bang-up job if you add half a teaspoon of trisodium phosphate to every load.

Not that I would ever try; commercially putting that stuff in dish soap or laundry detergent has been banned here my whole adult life and it's only sold at home-supply stores for the express purpose of painting preparation.

I think the main reason for instituting the original ban was because we had so many combined sewage systems that dumped raw sewage into the rivers and streams everytime it rained.

Seems to me that the sewer tax I pay with my water bill per EPA diktat is supposed to be paying for new separated storm and sewage systems that would make such a ban obsolete...since it's not that difficult to clean the phosphates out of the water at the sewage treatment plant.

... and according to someone who used to manufacture TSP, all clothes and dish washing polution from TSP comes to less than 18% of total found in streams and rivers. But, those that are smarter than you and me would rather have our clothes and dishes dirty than the polution. Go Figure

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."
